Kester, University of California, Davis. Description For courses in Agriculture, specifically Plant Propagation. Provides comprehensive coverage of plant propagation and horticulture : Pairs principles with practice throughout , alternating between the scientific principles of plant propagation and the practical technical skills used in the field, such as hands-on lab practice.
Organizes content into four sections , starting with propagation basics and progressing to more complex scientific concepts and practical applications. Reflects scientific progress by integrating the latest breakthroughs and innovations, including advances in plant hormone biology and the molecular basis of plant growth. Supports a general understanding of plant propagation , from its history and basic plant biology, to the environmental control of facilities associated with propagation and nursery practices.
Covers seed propagation thoroughly , from the initial aspects of seed development to seed production, dormancy, and germination. Explores vegetative propagation in a reorganized presentation of basic clonal selection, followed by major chapters describing vegetative propagation by cuttings and grafting. Looks at layering and propagation with specialized structures , such as bulbs and tuberous roots.
Discusses propagation using tissue culture techniques in a reorganized section reflecting the importance of micropropagation in horticultural crop production. Concludes with chapters on propagation techniques for fruits, nuts, woody perennial nursery crops, and annual and herbaceous perennial crops for the greenhouse and nursery. Discussion items, keyword lists, in-depth boxed features, and extensive references promote a deeper, more thorough understanding of the field as a whole and of specific topics.
Study questions at the end of each chapter provide the detailed review students need to thoroughly master key principles and techniques. Close Flag as Inappropriate. You have already flagged this document. Thank you, for helping us keep this platform clean.

ISBN Successful changes and improvements to something that has been considered the high quality standard for many years is rather challenging. However, the authors of the 9 th edition of Plant Propagation Principles and Practices have done so in very notable fashion. Horticulturists, horticultural students, researchers, educators, and commercial plant growers and propagators everywhere will appreciate the latest edition of this iconic horticulture textbook and reference.
Most parts are divided into chapters 21 overall containing at least five subheadings. Each chapter ends with discussions items and many up-to-date references. The text is clear, well-written, and concise. It is supported by an amazing number of color illustrations and line drawings. One of the best things about the photographs is the opportunity to see unfamiliar propagation techniques and growing methods that may be unfamiliar to many professionals and surely to most students.
Excellent pictures illustrate many anatomical features. However, where photography was difficult or not possible the authors rely on wonderful colored line drawings to help illustrate many propagation principles and techniques.
